Chapter 49 Master, You Have Changed
"Still not willing to confess?"
The torch-lit dungeon was dark and damp, and filled with a deadly smell.
As soon as Xiao Jinxuan came in, he saw the woman with her limbs and throat locked with iron chains, and her expression was calm.
Wei Zhao, who was in charge of the interrogation, put away the whip and shook his head slightly, "He is very stubborn and a hard-headed person."
After they came back from Fu'an Temple, they started to make plans. They used the excuse that Prince Xuan was seriously ill and hired doctors to come to his home for treatment. As expected, this attracted many people with ulterior motives.
But as soon as those people found out their identities were exposed, they immediately bit the poison sacs in their mouths and committed suicide. Only the man in front of him was a little slow, and his jaw was removed and he was caught alive.
"Master, give me another two days, and I will find a way to make her talk."
Wei Zhao is in charge of interrogations in Feiyun Guard, and he has plenty of ways to deal with disobedient prisoners.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard the woman laughing softly.
"Isn't it easy for me to speak? As long as Your Highness Prince Xuan comes to me, I will naturally be willing to confess everything..."
After all, she had been tortured all night, so her breathing was very weak, but her eyes and eyebrows were gentle as she spoke, her breath was charming, and every word she uttered was slightly raised and hooked.
Xiao Jinxuan's expression changed and he took a step closer.
"Master! This woman is very cunning, please be careful!" Wei Zhao reminded quickly.
But Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand and signaled him to leave.
There were only two of them left in the dark dungeon.
He walked up to the woman, his eyes deep, like the thick fog gathering before a storm, "Who sent you?"
"Of course it is..." the woman said in a long tone, her eyebrows and eyes suddenly became sharp, "Yan Luo who came to take your life!"
At some point, her hands broke free from the iron chains and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's arms.
Although it's not a vital point, it's enough!
"Your Highness, Prince Xuan, I heard that you don't like women because you have a problem that makes you unable to move when you touch a woman. Now that you have fallen into my hands, do you have any last words to say?"
Leng Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, and Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her, "How did you know?"
Many people know that he is not interested in women, but few know the specific reason.
Everyone is his closest relative.
"Your Highness Prince Xuan is extremely smart. Why don't you guess who told me this?"
The woman raised her eyes slightly, chuckled, and raised her other hand to stroke his face.
This tone, this movement...
Xiao Jinxuan finally understood why he felt that this woman was strange from the first sight.
She has been imitating Xie Zhuoning from the beginning to attract herself to him!
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood something." Xiao Jinxuan's tone was cold. The moment he raised his eyes, he turned his wrist and slapped the woman away.
"puff--"
Covering her chest, the woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her face full of disbelief.
"How could it be... Aren't you unable to move? Are the rumors false? They are actually false..."
She sat on the ground in despair.
At first, she allowed herself to be caught on purpose, and then lured Xiao Jinxuan to get closer, just to take advantage of his weakness and deliver the final blow to him.
And what if this weakness didn't exist from the beginning?
Isn't it her who is the one who falls into the trap?
Xiao Jinxuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.
The rumors are certainly not false.
Growing up, he had mastered martial arts, and with the protection of the Feiyun Guards all around, he had never let a woman get close to him, so he didn't have to worry too much.
But later he met Xie Zhuoning.
That girl was very clever and had sneaked up on him several times, causing him to be almost stripped naked. How could he allow such a thing to happen again?
From then on, he frequently used his inner strength to impact the 361 acupuncture points in his limbs and bones to ensure that he would never fall into such a passive situation again.
"Since you don't want to explain, then you don't have to explain."
Xiao Jinxuan flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
"Wei Zhao, let's take care of it."
Coming out of the dungeon, Ling Xiao followed behind his master, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Jinxuan knew his little movements without having to look.
"Master," Ling Xiao said weakly, "Do you think the mastermind behind this is Miss Xie?"
When they went to investigate Bai Yingxue, they were ambushed near Fu'an Temple, and Miss Xie happened to appear in Fu'an Temple.
Not to mention the female assassin who sneaked into the palace this time. Not only did she know their master's weaknesses, she also imitated Miss Xie's behavior in an attempt to seduce their master.
It's hard not to associate her with Miss Xie.
Xiao Jinxuan said firmly: "It's not her."
"Master, do you trust Miss Xie so much?"
"In order to obtain the Flying Leaf Buddha Lotus for me, she risked her life to plot against the Crown Prince."
Why would someone who tried so hard to keep him alive hire an assassin to kill him?
Not to mention, the imitator was so poor.
Xie Zhuoning may appear to be a playboy and a seductive woman, but he is actually a decent person at heart.
Although enchanting, she is not glamorous; although charming, she is not vulgar.
The daughter of Marquis Zhenyang was never one of those vulgar people who relied on her looks to charm others.
"Huh?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Master, you have changed."
"When you mentioned Miss Xie in the past, the words you used most often were shameless, full of lies, unruly, and lawless..."
And now?
He could obviously push her away, but he pretended to be stiff and let Miss Xie throw herself into his arms.
"Master," he hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Miss Xie is the future Crown Princess after all, you should at least be more careful about your behavior."
"Um."
Xiao Jinxuan responded indifferently and lowered his eyelids to hide the expression in his eyes.
…
May 1st.
The Western Chu delegation arrived in Beijing.
Princess Yunheng ran to Xie's house early in the morning and took the dazed Xie Zhuoning out of the house.
"Hurry up, we won't be able to find a good position soon. Why do you look like you didn't sleep at night and went out to have sex with a man?"
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xie Zhuoning felt a little helpless.
She has had difficulty getting a good night's sleep since her rebirth.
As soon as I closed my eyes, the bloody and horrific faces of my family and friends who had died tragically appeared before my eyes.
She tossed and turned until dawn, and finally fell into a deep sleep because she was so sleepy.
As a result, he was woken up by Princess Yunheng after sleeping for only a short while.
She said weakly, "Your Highness, if you want to see the Crown Prince of Xichu, you can do so openly at the palace banquet tonight. Why rush to do so now?"
This time, when the Western Chu delegation was about to arrive in Beijing, news came out that the leader of the delegation was actually the Western Chu Crown Prince Ye Wuque.
Princess Yunheng lifted the hem of her skirt and said with great interest, "The Crown Prince of Western Chu, Ye Wuque, his mother is the most beautiful lady in Western Chu!"
"She married her elder brother first and then her younger brother. After two emperors, she was still able to sit firmly on the throne of empress!"
The key point is that Ye Wuque was born to his mother and the previous emperor, but he was able to squeeze out the biological children of the later emperor and was named the crown prince as an exception.
It shows how powerful the number one enchantress is!
"I heard that Ye Wuque is 80% similar to his mother. This princess wants to go and see what the son of the number one enchantress looks like!"
